By Stephanie Nuosci

Acne is a very common skin condition that affects several teenage students at some point in their adolescence. Although acne is a very common skin condition, the impact it can have on an individual’s quality of life can be considerable. Many people have reported feelings of embarrassment, frustration, anger and even depression. It can affect one’s communication with others, participation in activity and overall performance. We can assure you that the acne you are currently experiencing is very closely related to certain hormones that are now being secreted through puberty and the experts at Nu You Laser are here to help you conquer your acne.

How Is A Pimple Formed?

A pimple is formed when there is a blockage to a sebaceous gland. We have dead skin cells on the surface of our skin, which can be combined with excess sebum (oil), to form a plug in a pore or hair follicle. Oxygen is no longer able to penetrate into the pore, allowing for bacteria to begin building. Even though the gland is now blocked, sebum continues to secrete and the plugged gland becomes larger- think of a balloon. This causes intense inflammation and results in the formation of a pimple.

How Can I Clear My Acneic Skin Condition?

Through our years of experience in the Medical Aesthetic industry, we have acquired the necessary knowledge and experience to assist individuals in clearing their acneic skin condition. In-clinic medical treatments, in combination with pharmaceutical grade products are key to balancing, maintain and eventually ridding this irritating skin condition.

Specialized Acne Facials and Acne Facial Peels are treatments offered at nuYou for individuals suffering from mild to moderate acne.

Facials are designed to cleanse, treat, hydrate and protect the skin. During a facial, surfaced acne is removed, in combination with infusing serums and lotions that will assist in balancing and maintaining the skin condition.

Facial Peels are able to penetrate deeper into the skin and are designed to exfoliate the dead layers off the surface of the skin. Peels have the ability to assist in; regulating sebum production, destroying active bacteria, lifting acne scarring and evening out overall skin tone.

Blue Light Therapy is another treatment offered at nuYou to those suffering with acne, as it targets the bacteria responsible for the inflammation in the pimple and reduces pore size. Peels also purify the skin, alongside regulating sebum production. Combining both modalities to clear acne is very effective. A series of both treatments are recommended in order to receive optimal results.

Using proper homecare products is very important when targeting acne. At our clinic, we only provide products that carry the most beneficial ingredients in assisting with skin imperfections. Keep in mind, 70% of your result will be what you do to your skin every single day, morning and evening.
